The Wonderful World of Animal Phyla

Kingdom Animalia Eukaryotic Multicellular Heterotrophs Lack Cell Walls Must do: Feed, Respiration, Circulation, Excretion, Response, Movement, and Reproduction

Symmetry Asymmetrical- no shape Radial- same in half when cut any angle Bilateral- having a distinct right and left side

Invertebrates 97% of Animals No Backbone

Porifera Sponge The simplest animals and they do not have tissue. Symmetry: Asymmetrical Filter feeders they pick up nutrients from the water. Do not move, they are always sessile (anchored to a surface), except during the larvae state. Reproduce asexually – budding, fragmentation & regeneration Sexually (external fertilization Hermaphrodites – Male and Female Reproductive structures Sponge

Cnidaria Jellyfish man o’ wars hydra Radially symmetrical Characterized by: stinging cells in their tentacles 2 layers; endoderm-inside layer & ectoderm- outside layer Obtain food using their tentacles. Carnivores. Move by floating in the water or muscle contractions (undulating). Reproduce both asexual (budding) and external sexual (hermaphrodites)

Platyhelminthes Bilateral symmetry flat bodies Bilateral symmetry 3 layers: endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm- middle layer Move by contracting and relaxing their muscles. Reproduction: asexual (regeneration) and sexual (hermaphrodites) Ex) Flukes tapeworms

Nematoda Bilaterally symmetric 3 tissue layers Round Worms Ex) Pinworms hookworms Roundworms (All parasitic) Bilaterally symmetric 3 tissue layers Move using a thrashing movement. Reproduce sexually- separate sexes FYI: There may be as many as 90,000 nematodes in one apple!

Annelida Bilateral symmetry Eat decomposing or organic material. Segments Worms Bilateral symmetry Eat decomposing or organic material. May be Parasitic Moves by contracting and relaxing muscles. Reproduce sexually- separate sexes 2 Body Openings Ex) EarthwormsLeeches sandworms

Mollusca Bilateral symmetry Ex) Squid, clams, oysters, and scallops Bilateral symmetry Hard shell (Internal or External) or No Shell Most Developed Head ex) Squid or Octopus Glide using ventral foot Radula for feeding Sexual reproduction- release sperm and eggs into water (external fertilization)

Classes of Mollusks Gastropods Bivalves Cephlapods

Largest Phylum Arthropoda Bilateral symmetry "Jointed Walking Legs" Bilateral symmetry Walk using segmented joints- Exoskeleton (external skeleton) for support made of chitin Must molt exoskeleton to grow Body has 3 segments – Head, Thorax, and Abdomen Reproduce sexually- internal fertilization Ex) Spiders, insects, lobsters, crabs, crayfish Largest Phylum

Classes of Arthropods Arachnida Insecta Crustacea

spiny skin Echinodermata Bilateral during development, radial as adults All Marine Endoskeleton (Internal skeleton) Water Vascular System with Tube feet used for movement. Sexual reproduction- external Asexual- regeneration Ex) Sea urchin, sand dollars, sea stars, brittle stars

The Chordates

Chordata Notocord – Dorsal Rod of Cartilage Dorsal Nerve Cord Gill Slits Tail at some point in development Subphylum Vertebrata Backbone – Vertebrae – Body Segments Highly Evolved Nervous System

Jawless Fish (Agnatha) Lampreys, hagfish Slimy skin Ectotherm- external temp. regulation Unpaired fins Gills External fertilization Jawless fish are characterized by the fact that they have no jaw.

Cartilaginous Fish (Chondrichthyes) Sharks, skates, rays Scales Ectotherm 2 pairs of fins Gills Internal fertilization (give birth to live young) Their bone structure is actually cartilage.

Bony Fish(Osteichthyes) Perch, bass, trout Scales and slimy skin Ectotherm 2 pairs of fins Gills Skeleton made of bone External fertilization Have a swim bladder, that keeps them from sinking while they swim

Amphibians Frogs, toads, salamanders Live a double life (Live on land but reproduce in water) Slimy skin, scale-less. Ectotherms 2 pairs of legs, no claws Gills and then lungs External fertilization – Lay Eggs

Reptiles Turtle, lizard, snake, alligator Dry, scaly skin Ectotherm 2 pairs of legs, claws Lungs Internal fertilization (mother lays eggs)

Birds (Aves) Robin, eagle, pelican Feathers, scales on legs Endotherm- body temperature maintained by homeostasis 1 pair of wings, 1 pair of legs with claws Lungs Internal fertilization (mother lays eggs) Hollow bones Amniotic Eggs Feathers Believed to be modified scales

Mammals Bear, whale, kangaroo, Humans Hair/fur Endotherms 2 pairs of legs, claws in most forms Lungs Internal fertilization Mammary glands Complex nervous system

Types of Mammals Placental - develops inside its mother's body until its body systems can function on their own. Marsupial - birth to babies that are not completely developed. Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and opossums Monotreme – Lay Eggs! Spiny anteater (echidna) Platypus
